wow...... that alot of information for a newbie like me in batam.
i hear from the local here, working with me in batam.

still have 250k gal overnight, but that the price for batam local. singaporean like us, lowest is 300k mah.

so it good to know bahasa. if u can talk very well, i think they will thought u are a local.

btw LT timing from 7pm-8am next day for bar99; for moonlight ktv, it's 11pm-12pm next day.

in the end, i think the only good point from this sintai experience is the bar99 gal i took for ST said must use condom, not like most nagoya gals who don't really insist.

Hi Bro, what is the rate for LT? thanks for yr help

tried a lokalisasi for the first time that's a brothel area bounded by fencing n walls. heard the old one at bukit girang no more though. in fact got a few other places, eg bukit samyong, tangki seribu, teluk bakau, amat belandak. read this from a book i browsed called "seks in batam" (published 2007). too bad my bahasa still not good enough to gleen more info.

the place i tried is called sintai, full name seribu satu malam sitai.

This place is known to be more of a re-hab area where many of the gals arriving Batam has no identification or con by some "doggy" conman that brought them here promising a job that is not ....so they stay back to make whatever enough then head back to kampung......its more of a controlled area by the local police.....

This place serves mainly the local guys, including ojek, cabbies, due to cheap cheap cheap.....so it's worth a thinking before heading there for those who wants a bonking in this area.......

This place has been formally been published to be a legalise "chicken farm" so government can tax.....while Nagoya & other area will be cleaned up in future...but how soon nobody can tell....the link is below....

Some noob questions here..
Can I bring cewek back to resort?
what is the current average damage for overnight?
How much is the usual cab fare to travel from resort to town area?
Any recommendation for the chicken farm for newbie like me?

If purpose of going batam is to cheong, and going alone, batam view resort is WAY OUT OF TOWN. Please, wanna cheong and look see look see, there are LOTSA other hotels in town. Given ur budget of staying in Batam View, you can stay in any other 4-star Hotel in town, and will be easier for you to travel around and go makan places.

I mean the one directly opposite H89. When we come out from the lobby, directly opposite the Hotel. Dont know the name. Never try this restaurant before. But would bring my Muslim colleagues there as long no pork is served.

Tks bro for recommending Hai Ow restaurant. Is it the same the one I mentioned above?

Hey bro's. Need your help here. I used to live in Batam for like 7 years but that was way too long ago. Now i intend to go back there for a holiday with a budget of around SGD300 - SGD500 (it's been about 10 years since i went back to Batam). I kinda need your recommendations for hotels and etc . Most likely going there alone but an NS friend of mine may join me. Say for about 2 nights?

Anyways, hoping to get some action while i'm there as well as a bit of shopping. Any recommendations for hotels and ceweks? I'm fluent in Bahasa so language isn't much of a problem. Just that back then when i used to live there, wasn't exactly at the right age for ceweks if you get what i mean.

So yeah. Hope you guys could help me out here. Cheers!

Regards,

Shaun
